Heineken Experience

The Heineken Experience is a historic brewery and corporate visitor center for the internationally renowned Heineken beer brand. Located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the Heineken Experience offers an interactive tour through the original brewery, which was established in 1867.

The Heineken brewery was founded by Gerard Adriaan Heineken in 1864. The brewery in Amsterdam was built in 1867 and served as the primary brewing facility for Heineken until 1988, when a more modern brewery was constructed in Zoeterwoude. The original brewery was then transformed into a museum and visitor center, opening its doors to the public in 1991 as the Heineken Treat and Information Centre. It was rebranded as the Heineken Experience in 2001.
